Using IIS as the web server.
I don't know a great deal about this product yet, as I have just downloaded it for evaluation, but I have a query. The default port for the package is 8080 and it appears that it using it's own built in web server. What I would like to know is can it be run through the standard IIS web server so that I can access it on port 80? Some of the locations that I would need to access it from block port 8080 so I cannot get to the server. Thanks
Regular users can't select a Category (option is missing)
I just took over administration of our ServiceDesk install and recently updated to build 6012. I'm a bit confused by something: As a technician, I can select any of our pre-defined categories and sub-categories, but if a regular user logs into the system the New Request form only contains the following fields: Name * Workstation ID Sub Category Item Subject * Description Is there an option I need to tweak somewhere to allow a user to select a category for their request, or is there something wrong

Add ability to change due date on request screen
I like that you can check a request and hit "edit request", and I really like that you can do this with multiple items. But I would love to be able to edit due dates that way. It would also be nice to add notes, etc to multiple requests. Thanks!
Can't get scanned machine back after deleting it!
I'm currently evaluating ServiceDesk Plus professional version 7 and have come across a problem which I cannot find the solution to. I scanned our network using an IP range (Network Scan) and it picked up most of our machines but couldn't scan some of the workstations for various reasons. As a test I deleted one of the machines from the Asset list and re-scanned the network using the Windows Domain Scan. After the scan had finished, knowing that the machine I deleted has an object in ADS, the machine

Version 7 _standard_ evaluation not working
Hi, I downloaded version 7 and I am evaluating it. I had no trouble testing the Entreprise version, but the standard version doesn't work. I install it from the same executable, the only difference is when I choose to evaluate the standard version instead of the Entreprise version (professional version works too). Each time, I get this message when I try to start the service: Server is starting. This may take a couple of minutes ... Failed to start the server. Please refer logs for more details Normal

Survey reporting, getting an idea of how we're doing?
Hi chaps, we've recently started to use the user survey feature and are struggling with the reports. users get a survey each time a job is closed, the survey has 3 questions, each with a max of 4 points, so each survey can have a max score of 12. What we'd like to do is create a graph report for each week/month etc showing how we're doing. I.E if one week all surveys came back with scores of 12, we'd be 100% that week. likewise if another they came back as all 6 we'd be 50%. how can we graph this?

Next hotfix for V7?
Any idea when the next hotfix for V7 might be coming out? It really bugs me that categories aren't sorted! (and the other items I have been told that are scheduled to be in the next hotfix would be nice as well) If anyone has any workaround for sorting the categories I won't be too impatient. I didn't think it would bother me that much, but it is really annoying.

SD+ 7 upgrade from Std to Ent
I have been told that I could start with SD+ 7 version standard and upgrade later to Entreprise. I didn't find any technical information on this. Perhaps is it as simple as changing the licence number from standard to entreprise to unlock the features ? On the other hand, is a downgrade possible ?

multi language support
When I tried version 6 of ServiceDesk Plus I was able to set the language in Dutch. When ServiceDesk Plus version 7 came out I decided to try out this version before making a decision to purchase the product. Installation went Ok and I testing the application is going well. Only that I can't seem to set the language anymore. Is this because I am using a trial version? Is the Dutch language available after I buy the product and enter a licence key? Any information is welcome

ServiceDesk Plus & Lotus Notes
The company i work for is interested in ServiceDesk Plus but have a number of obstacles that I need to know if we can overcome: 1. Our current helpdesk solution is using a Lotus Notes database which links in to another Lotus Notes database with a list of all of our users and their relevant contact details. We still want to use this database as a central respository for all our user contact details, is it possible for ServiceDesk Plus to query this database instead of looking at AD or having its Database?

Presumed unhandled failure during scanning
Hi all, We're having some trouble scanning the assets of certain machines using SD+ 7.0.0. Whilst the scan on the machines appears to complete, no changes are reported and the date/status of the last scan on that machine is never updated. I assume this means there's an unhandled exception somewhere. Whilst this is a bug in SD+, it'd be interesting to know if there's anything we can do to get these machines scanned. Thanks
